"Sporting a medium straw/yellow color, the 2015 Champagne Premier Cru Cumières Millésime Terre Brut Nature offers spice and intensity in its ripe notes of apricot, black fruits, savory cologne, iodine, sea spray, and toast. Medium to full-bodied, it has volume without weight and is long on the palate, with a rounded mid-palate. Its mousse fleshes out and fills the palate, enhancing the wine's broader and fleshy structure. A more muscular wine, it has a touch more oak influence that frames the wine, while retaining its freshness very nicely, with persistent crystalline salinity through the finish. They do not produce this cuvée every year, but when they do, they hold it back ten years before disgorgement. In this vintage, it was 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Disgorged in July 2024. Drink 2025-2040."

"Spicy and expressive, this has aromas of grapefruit, cedar, cloves and gingerbread. It™s firm, dry and vinous, with toasty layers and rounded bubbles. 75% pinot noir and 25% chardonnay. Disgorged July 2024. Zero dosage. Drink now or hold."

"The most harmonious wine in Geoffroy™s portfolio this year, the 2015 Terre Cumieres Premier Cru, is"as always"the product of barrel and cask selection based on comprehensive tastings, followed by an extended maturation period sur lattes. As the selection is different from year to year, the assemblage is never identical"and can even be reversed. In 2015, however, it comprises 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. The bouquet is expressive, offering notes of dried orange peel, apricot, crisp pear and spice with a faint hint of sage. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and pillowy, with bright acidity and a taut, chalky core leading to a long, saline finish."

"Produced from Geoffroy's oldest parcels and with tirage under cork rather than crown cap, the newly released 2012 Extra-Brut Premier Cru Millésimé Terre was disgorged in January 2023 with four grams per liter dosage. Offering up aromas of peach, pear, sweet almonds, pastry and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a layered, vinous core of fruit and a long, vibrant finish. It's a terrific success."

"The 2012 Extra Brut Terre Millésime is a very pretty, approachable Champagne that has arrived at the first plateau of maturity. Sourced from old vines with a minimum age of 50 years, the blend is 74% Chardonnay, 17% Meunier and 9% Pinot Noir. Dried lemon peel, chamomile, spice and light nutty tones are nicely woven together in this mid-weight offering. Floral top notes extend the finish. This is nicely balanced and easy to like. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2023."

"The 2009 Extra Brut Terre Millésime has arrived at its plateau of maturity. Dried apricot, spice, tangerine peel, mint and hazelnut are all beautifully woven together in this attractive, mid-weight Champagne. This is a relatively understated 2009 in terms of its body, although the radiance of the year is very much on show. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: November, 2021."
